Stephen: We will not have contract talks with Pickens

[Aerolithe_Lion]

You think he will give up 9 paychecks at a million and a half a game? Not a chance.

It’s happened before. Vincent Jackson was in a franchise tag dispute with the Chargers where they said they just weren’t ever going to extend him. He sat out to week 9, lost some money, but then got a monster contract with Tampa and he said at the press conference he didn’t regret it because it paid off like he thought it would

The tag is 27 million and change . I see where the Jones are going . Have a second solid year with Dallas then maybe we talk extending . Pickens now making so much more then he did under Pitts rookie contract go ahead cash the checks have a solid year .

One more example of the idiocy of the Jones Boys

 

[Aerolithe_Lion]

Why are you saying we when you are an Eagles fan? I know you spend a lot of time here but you are not part of "we" as in Cowboys fans.

We in general, not we as cowboys fans

It's not going to happen.

I could maybe see this if he had been acting out more then the average WR diva but he has not.

very unlikely but it could

 

[Daillest88]

Wonder what really is going on

 

[Relayer]

This all sounds fishy. First saying nobody has called, then saying they won’t have contract talks.

I can’t imagine the rational for either statement without an ulterior motive.

Transparency?

 

[Relayer]

draft 2 WRs with 12 and 20. All problems solved.

Sarcasm?

 

[Relayer]

So Pickens is either about to be traded or it’s another drama filled training camp.

Or they legit want to see another year? And even add some pressure to see how he handles it. Not saying I agree because if it goes "good" it'll just cost the team more.

 

[Zekeats]

I mean really, who does this. This family is so screwed up. Like YOU TAGGED HIM! Players association is gonna love this one. Dallas will probably lose a draft pick over this since the whole point of franchising someone is to try and get a deal done. LMAO, these white trash hillbillies just can't help themselves.

 

[DuncanIso]

The other thing I don’t understand about Stephen saying this now publicly is it is April, not July. If they have until July 15 to get an extension done, why make this comment?

Is it hardball with Mulugheta? If so, how did that workout last time with Parsons? Is it just smoke to mask other intentions? Who knows?

But once again like much of what comes out of this FO, why not just be quiet?

Jerry wants draft picks from trading GP

GP won’t sign the tag, ruins Jerry’s draft day plans.

GP signs later. #payback

Collects 27M from Jerry and goes off meds just like Detroit.

Walks next March, or gets another tag.

very unlikely but it could

Only because literally anything is possible.

When JSN is making 15 more than GP is, I think this could be a problem

 

[Relayer]

GPs agent is the reason,that guy will not work with the Cowboys.

How does he manage to do his job with the other 31 teams? I think you might be blaming the wrong party.

 

[Flamma]

I could maybe see this if he had been acting out more then the average WR diva but he has not.

I think this is a financial decision. He's going to want Lamb money or more. They'd rather guarantee him 27 million instead of 100M. As an afterthought they get to see if he can keep up the good play.

 

[Relayer]

It only makes sense if Pickens has already signed his tender and they have a trade in place. Otherwise, its idiotic. But whats new?

Or if they already told Pickens.

 

[Relayer]

Well, guess WR to Dallas is a real possibility at 12 depending on how the draft falls.

Just mind boggling we may keep a WR at a 28mil cap hit and then possibly let him go the following year. That cap space would of been so valuable had we not had dimwit JR at the helm.

If you were say the Bills would you sign Pickens to a one year prove it deal for that?

 

[Chasing6]

So Pickens is either about to be traded or it’s another drama filled training camp.

Jerruh would have it no other way.
